It's 2018 and cbcExposed continues to hear from confidential sources inside the CBC about CBC management snooping on its employees, company waste, low employee morale, huge salaries and benefits for the President and other senior management, gender bias and other scandals and we will continue to expose their reports on our blog while we protect our sources. We take joy in knowing that the CBC-HQ visits us daily to spy on us and read our stories such as news bias, waste, the CBC Sunshine List, ongoing scandals including the epic Dr. Leenen case against The Fifth Estate (the largest libel legal case ever awarded against the media in Canadian history) where no one at CBC was fired and taxpayers paid the award and legal costs for this CBC Libel action. Writers and filmmakers take note-this is a Perfect story for an award winning Documentary!

cbcExposed continues to enjoy substantial visitors coming from Universities and Colleges across Canada who use us for research in debates, exams, etc.

We ask students to please join with us in this mission; you have the power to make a difference! And so can private broadcasters who we know are hurting from the dwindling Advertising revenue pool and the CBC taking money from that pool while also unfairly getting Tax subsidies money. It's time to stop being silent and start speaking up Bell Media-CTV, Shaw-Global, Rogers, etc.

Our cbcExposed Twitter followers and frequent visitors to cbcExposed continue to motivate us to expose CBC’s abuse and waste of tax money as well as exposing their ongoing left wing bully-like news bias. Polls meanwhile show that Canadians favour selling the wasteful government owned media giant and to put our tax money to better use for all Canadians. The Liberals privatized Petro Canada and Air Canada; it’s time for the Trudeau Liberals to privatize the CBC- certainly not give them more of our tax money-enough is enough!

The CBC network’s ratings continue to plummet while their costs and our tax- payer subsidiescontinue to go up! In 2018 what case can be made for the Government to be in the broadcasting business, competing unfairly with the private sector? The CBC receives advertising and cable/satellite fees-fees greater than CTV and Global but this is not enough for the greedy CBC who also receive more than a billion dollars of your tax money every year. That’s about $100,000,000 (yes, 100 MILLION) of our taxes every 30 days with no CBC accountability to taxpayers as they continue with their biased news service serving only the extreme socialists and anti-Semitics. Wake up Canada!

What does it take for real change at the CBC? YOU! Our blog now contains a link to the Politicians contact info for you to make your voice heard. Act now and contact your MP, the Cabinet and Prime Minister ... tell them to stop wasting your money, and ... sell the CBC.

The main purpose of Parliament is to hold the government accountable for the way it spends your tax dollars, and to prevent the abuse of power. That was the origin of the Magna Carta, when Britain's nobles first forced King John to be accountable to Parliament back in 1215.

And it continues to this day.

Yet for all the oversight MPs provide, for all the legislation and promises aimed at providing transparency into how our tax dollars are spent, there is one government organization that thinks it is above it all: the CBC.

CBC should abide by the law and disclose expense reports QMI Agency and others have requested, the heritage minister says.

"This is taxpayers' money. And as a Crown corporation, the CBC is accountable to Parliament and, yes, especially, to taxpayers," James Moore told MPs on the Commons' heritage committee Wednesday.
"When ordinary Canadians pick up their newspaper and they read stories about the CBC, we want to make sure that they have full confidence that the CBC is fulfilling these obligations under the access to information," he said.

Remember how all the lefties got their shorts in a knot about SUN News getting a CRTC license? They even got Americans and their money involved in the protest against a Conservative news station....yes, it seems lefties only hate Americans when Republicans are in charge. Even though SUN News was not asking for ANY taxpayer money, the lefties yelled, screamed and signed petitions against a station that might dare to express a different opinion on events that the lefties supported, like the huge money grabbing scam called "global warming". This was the end of Canada as we knew it, even though SUN News had not even been on air for one second.

Apparently I should move to the United States. That’s what one reader has told me for daring to write something that questions the CBC and their $1.1 billion subsidy plus their access to hundreds of millions of dollars more from other sources of government mandated money for broadcasters.

A homeowner on Horace St. where the alleged-car-thief-beaten-media-calls-it-racist-and-skews-facts/" target="_self">vigilante justice incident took place in the early morning hours of New Year’s Day, has launched a complaint against CBC News with the network’s Ombudsman.

The homeowner spoke to reporter Gosia Sawicka on Monday and requested anonymity, fearing for his safety and retaliation. He requested that Ms. Sawicka and her crew not film the outside of his house or show him on TV.

Sounds like a pretty reasonable request, right? Read the full story here.

Trying to get viewers to watch the state-owned media instead of privately-owned media? Why? Won’t that damage the privately-owned businesses? And what is the benefit of that? So that’s weird. Hey here’s a question: what kind of government even does that? What kind of government competes against its own citizens — especially in the forum of ideas — and politics?

Monday, June 20, 2011

The CBC has strongly denounced the CRTC’s ruling today that will allow CTV and Global Television to negotiate distribution fees with the cable and satellite operators — but deny the CBC the same opportunity.

I don’t know if the ruling leaves the CBC without a business model. The CRTC appears to have excluded the CBC because it receives public money.

Under attack for its lack of transparency and accountability, the CBC has taken out expensive ads in newspapers across Canada, promising Canadians that they will be up-front with information.

While the ad boasts of tens of thousands of pages released under Access to Information, it fails to mention that tens of thousands of pages have also been released with all relevant information removed, the result being either blank pages or pages covered in black marker.

During the election campaign, many of us were fed up by CBC’s biased reporting against the Conservatives.

What was said on French CBC on election night was not just slanted but a direct attack on the Conservatives. Daniel Lessard, the former Radio-Canada bureau chief in Ottawa who currently animates the political show Les coulisses du pouvoir, gratuitously remarked, “There is not a great cultural culture, if you allow me the expression, among the Conservatives. They are people who mainly watch American TV.”

A privately funded organization could write or say almost whatever it wants. However, when you ask taxpayers to contribute, different rules apply. It is politically unacceptable that media funded by our tax dollars be used as instruments of propaganda.

Edmonton police officer Mike Wasylyshen has filed a $100,000 defamation lawsuit against the CBC regarding a TV broadcast about him repeatedly Tasering a city teen.

According to a statement of claim filed in Court of Queen¹s Bench on April 28, Wasylyshen alleges the 2009 broadcast falsely stated he admitted to committing a number of violent and potentially criminal acts.

CBC broke the rules by airing tasteless and abusive racial comments, Canada's television watchdog said Monday, as it ordered the public broadcaster to offer an "unqualified" apology to the public.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission said it received hundreds of complaints about a New Year's Eve show on Radio-Canada featuring numerous jokes about blacks, domestic violence and anglophones.

If the CBC is allowed to ignore access to information requests, it will weaken the entire system, which is designed to allow the public a peek at how their tax dollars are spent.

The CBC is fighting commissioner Suzanne Legault in court, trying to use their claim to exemption to stop Legault's office from examining the state broadcaster's files. Legault's legal team has argued in court that allowing CBC to skirt the rules will result in other government departments and agencies following suit.

The CBC's decision to begin posting access to information documents online appears to have been motivated by news coverage of their access problems, and a federal court ruling to hand over more information.

While the CBC has stated publicly that they were working on the project to release documents for about six months, internal emails show the project only really took form in September following reports on the CBC's court cases to keep documents secret.

If you didn't read last week's exclusive story in the Sun or haven't yet turned the page to read today's follow-ups, allow us to bring you up to speed.

According to an affidavit prepared by a former Scotland Yard investigator, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation spent thousands of dollars to research a Fifth Estate report on Manitoba's Peter Nygard. Airing a year ago, the one-hour report contained a litany of accusations against the high-profile fashion icon.

CBC's top executives are eligible for perks that include having their day care expenses paid, the cost of a home security system covered and having taxpayers pick-up the membership tab at exclusive clubs.

A listing of "Special and Discretionary benefits" for the state broadcaster's executive team would seem to indicate the top bosses at CBC are eligible for a clothing allowance and spousal travel benefits. Despite the records sheet being released showing sections with those headings for each executive, a CBC spokesman says that is not the case.

Our beloved Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is vowing to become more culturally relevant to Canadians, in part by opening more regional radio stations and expanding home-grown programming.

Unfortunately there's nothing in the Crown corporation's five-year strategic plan released Tuesday - called Everyone, Every Way - that would wean the bloated CBC off the taxpayer teat. Pity. Because that's what I'd really like to see.

The seven-page plan is full of the usual self-congratulatory propaganda CBC big-wigs like to publish, like how the taxpayer-funded media behemoth is "singularly positioned to fulfil a nation-building role." A nation-building role?

CBC is currently fighting the federal information commissioner in court to stop Suzanne Legault's office from reviewing files that have been requested under the access laws but either not delivered or delivered with much of the information removed. Last year CBC racked up nearly 900 complaints with the information commissioner, far more than any other government department or agency.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is calling on the Harper government to do more than pay lip service to openness and force CBC to follow the access law.

CBC continues its arrogant, wasteful operation beginning with the CEO, Hubert Lacroix and working down the chain of command. Waste is as rampant and unrelenting as is their biased news service.

Our Twitter followers and frequent visitors to cbcExposed help us to continue to expose CBC’s abuse and waste of tax money as well as their ongoing left wing news bias. Thank you for your support.

In addition to what private broadcasters such as CTV and Global get from advertising and cable/satellite fees the CBC also receives $100,000,000 of your tax money every 30 days. No need to run an efficient service, you have lots of money and they know how to spend it, what a marriage!

Time for a divorce! Latest Polls clearly indicate that Canadians want a change. They see no need for a Government owned taxpayer funded broadcast service in 2014 and taxpayers clearly choose to privatize the CBC now. The Liberals did this for Petro Canada and Air Canada and despite Union cries both flourish today without taxpayer money.

This privatization can easily be achieved by selling CBC English and CBC French to separate buyers to maximize the ownership management and content to Canadians. New private ownership of the CBC will enhance the future of media in Canada. The billions earned from the sale of the CBC and the taxpayer savings of $100,000,000 every month could be used for health care and education.

cbcExposed continues to hear from confidential sources inside the CBC and we will continue to expose their reports of waste, abuse and bias. Meanwhile you can make a difference by contacting your MP to let her/him know you believe they should act today to privatize the CBC.

Get Involved!

The privileged government media giant, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation- the CBC, is out of control, a bull in the proverbial china shop, with huge amounts of money pouring into their abyss of spending waste every day.And, it’s not enough to spend the vast amount of money they receive from advertising revenues and from the viewer fees gobbled up from the public – paid to them from the cable and satellite companies – no, that is not enough money for the untouchable, powerful CBC execs.They demand and get more money from the federal bureaucrats and politicians.Unfortunately, that ‘more’ is a lot of money and it comes from the little guys such as you, the taxed to death taxpayers of Canada.

The CBC receives a billion dollars plus, every year from us and the Corp., as they are called, have special powers to prevent any normal public investigation of their funding expenses- expenses such as compensation to senior executives and to talent, and on their huge spending for programming content costs. Mega public money is devoured by them every day with little accountability.

Their competition, CTV and Shaw/Global, for example, survive and indeed prosper from the advertising and cable/satellite fees earned.However, this significant amount of normal broadcast industry standard revenue, easily capable of making a private sector broadcast group happy, is not sufficient for the money burning privileged CBC.In fact, we taxpayers are giving them more than an additional one billion dollars every year.Yes that’s $1 billion.More than one billion dollars of your tax money, plucked out of your pocket and given as a free gift to this government owned media service every twelve months.And, if that is not enough to shock you, please know that the CBC continues to operate in an arrogant ‘we are exempt from the rules’ manner, making it difficult for the public to access any information about how they operate.To attempt to find out how much the Corp. pays their talent, or to simply have a review of their budgets, perhaps see how they run their programming and ‘objective’ news operation, you will likely have to fight hard including pursuing the difficult ‘access to information’ process-and years later if you do get it the info you requested may be redacted. Good luck trying. CBC executives continue to act as if we the taxpayers are just an unlimited ATM vehicle for their pleasure.Enough is Enough.It’s time for a change!

Please read through this new grass roots blog and we invite you to join with us to take some affirmativeaction.Vote here to sell the CBC orsend a complaint to the CBC’s government regulatorybody, the CRTC. Do you work at the CBC, or are you a former employee? (We know many hard working employees there, they are not the problem, the CBC execs are the problem) so become a whistleblower, send in your news story, your videos exposing the CBC exec s ‘wasteful management. Together we can make a positive difference. We can tell the people in charge, the senior politicians and bureaucrats who can make this change, that it is not acceptable to reach into our pocketbooks to grab one billion dollars every year to give to a privileged, arrogant government owned out of control media service.It’s time to say no, to say ‘you’re hard earned tax money is not to be wasted anymore, that you are mad as hell and not going to take it anymore’. We need change. Act now!

It’s time to sell the CBC.Use those billions in proceeds from the sale plus also keep the more than one billion dollars wasted in that giant media ATM cave every year, to invest it into something of real value- health care, education, the arts, or perhaps cut our taxes?Help us take action today.Read on, vote, see Contacts to pursue change, visit us regularly for up-dated stories, get informed, become involved.
